"Attention duelists! The duel between Yugi Moto and Adagio Dazzle will begin in five minutes! I repeat, the duel between Yugi Moto and Adagio Dazzle will begin in five minutes!"

Lunch had just ended at Canterlot High, and students were only just beginning to pour back into the gym and onto the bleachers, including Yugi and his friends. The Rainbooms were nowhere to be seen, though.

"Good luck, Yug!" Joey said.

"Yeah, win this card game, Yugi!" Mokuba said.

"Hey thanks," Yugi walked down from the bleachers over to the dueling field, where Adagio stood prepared to duel. He held his Millennium Puzzle in his hands. "Okay Pharaoh, it's showtime!"

Go away! I don't want any of your Girl Scout cookies! Yami screamed hysterically in Yugi's mind.

"Excuse me?" Yugi looked at his Puzzle puzzledly.

I'm warning you, I have a shotgun and I'm not afraid to use it! Yami continued.

"Okay, guess you're not helping today. That's fine," Yugi met Adagio's utterly confused gaze. "It makes sense in context, I swear."

"I'm sure it does, but still..." Adagio stared off into space for about five seconds, then snapped back to reality. Luckily, gravity did not suddenly go away. "Anyways, prepare to-"

"Yeah, yeah, prepare to lose and be seen as a disgrace to all my friends and the whole world and blah blah blah," Yugi interrupted. "I've heard all this stuff before."

"O-okay then," Adagio was taken aback.

"Ooh, Yugi, who's this piece of work? Is she your girlfriend?" Sugoroku asked.

"Grandpa! Not every girl here is my girlfriend! Knock it off already!" Yugi yelled at his coat pocket until he noticed Adagio making her utterly confused look again. "Right, the duel."

"Attention duelists!" the hair guy was interrupted by the Rainbooms bursting the gym doors open, with Twilight Sparkle and Spike in tow.

Rainbow Dash panted hard, along with the other girls. "I-I think we made it, girls."

"Yeah, barely," Rarity pulled a hairbrush from her purse and brushed her hair. "You know, it's very hard to maintain my hairstyle at a full sprint, Rainbow Dash."

"Yugi! You can do this! Win this for all of Equestria!" Twilight cheered.

"Are those your cheerleaders, Yugi?" Adagio jeered.

"Well, I usually don't have this many, but yes, yes they are," Yugi replied.

The hair guy cleared his throat. "Attention duelists, the duel between Yugi Moto and Adagio Dazzle will now begin!"

As the Rainbooms walked to the bleachers, Yugi and Adagio posed, each glaring at the other as the dueling field shuffled their decks. Each duelist started with 8,000 Life Points, as has become standard.

"I'll go first!" Yugi drew a card. "First I'll set one card face down, and then I'll summon Rainbow Dash in attack position!"

Rainbow Dash appeared on the field with 2,500 Attack Points pawing at the ground, poised for takeoff.

Twilight turned to Rainbow Dash. "Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that you're a trading card now."

"Oh. Cool!" Ranibow Dash responded.

"When am I going to become a trading card?" Pinkie whined. "Then I could plan parties for all of my trading card friends."

"Pinkie, it takes a special kind of person to become a trading card," Rainbow Dash gestured towards herself. "Obviously I'm the only one here cool enough to have the honor,"

"Yeah, because you're definitely trading card material, Rainbow Dash," Applejack rolled her eyes.

"That ends my turn!" Yugi said.

"Ooh, I see the baby panda has some fight in him. It's my turn!" Adagio drew a card. "First I'll play my Aquapolis field spell!"

The field began to glow faintly in a shade of light blue, with bleached-white ancient ruins and seaweed dotting the field.

"Aquapolis raises all Water monsters' attack by 500 and allows me to special summon one Siren monster per turn! So I think I'll summon my Siren Warrior Princess in attack position!"

In Adagio's central monster space rose a woman with arctic blue skin, a midnight blue bikini, and flowing golden hair. Siren Warrior Princess held a shark tooth spear in her right hand that was taller than she was, adorned with seashells and other assorted jewels, and had 3,500 Attack Points.

"Ooh, now that is what I call a DMILF," Sugoroku said.

"A DMILF?" Yugi raised an eyebrow.

"A Duel Monster I'd like to-"

"Okay, I've heard enough! You're staying on the inside of my coat from now on," Yugi proceeded to place his grandfather's card in a pocket in his coat interior.

"Wait, no! Cease this foolishness at once!" Sugoroku objected. "You can't stop true love, Yugi!"

Yugi looked up to see that Adagio was giving him yet another bewildered look. "Sorry, it's my grandpa. He's being distracting."

"Uhh, I don't see anybo-" Adagio said.

"I said it makes sense in context!" Yugi interrupted.

"Whatever. Siren Warrior Princess, attack Rainbow Dash!" Adagio extended her arm towards Yugi.

As Siren Warrior charged screaming at Rainbow Dash, Yugi flipped over his face-down card. "I activate my continuous trap, Tailwinds of Fate! This raises the attack points of pegasus monsters by 1,500 for as long as it's on the field!"

Siren Warrior Princess tried to impale Rainbow Dash with her shark-tooth spear, but earned herself a swift kick to the face when it was revealed that Rainbow Dash's Attack Points were was 4,000 instead of 2,500 and promptly dissolved. Adagio's Life Points went down to 7,500.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Adagio cried out.

"Them's the breaks, I guess." Yugi shrugged his shoulders.

"Rrgh, I end my turn!" Adagio said.

"It's my turn! I draw!" Yugi drew a card. "First, I'll play my Butterfly Island field spell!"

On Yugi's side of the field, an island shaped like a butterfly with a rainbow shimmered into being, with colorful dots fluttering around it.

"Butterfly Island allows me to special summon one pegasus monster per turn, so I summon Star Catcher in attack position!" Yugi shouted.

Next to Rainbow Dash, a white pegasus with a mane and tail colored blue, white, and pink flew up from the floor of the field, sporting 3,500 Attack Points.

"So many pegasus cards," Pegasus fanned himself with his hand. "I must say, I'm flattered, Yugi boy."

"Now!" Yugi extended his arm towards Adagio. "Rainbow Dash, Star Catcher, attack her Life Points directly!"

Rainbow Dash and Star Catcher took off, assaulting Adagio directly and depleting her Life Points to 0.

"NOOOOOO!" Adagio clutched her skull. "How?! How did this happen twice in a row?!"

"Well, surprise surprise, Yugi boy wins," Pegasus said.

"Yug', you did it! Great job!" Joey gave Yugi a high five as he ran up the bleachers.

"Anything's possible when you're the main character," Yugi sat down next to Joey and held his hands behind his head.

"Say Yug'," Joey leaned in close to Yugi and whispered into his ear. "What do you say we get out of here and see what this city is really like?"

"Ooh, can I come too?" Mokuba asked.

"Shut up, Mokuba," Yugi and Joey said simultaneously.

"I'll take that as a yes."

Yami Bakura placed both of his hands on his biceps. "Well that ended quickly."

"Says the guy who can't even cross his arms properly!" Marik retorted.

"Marik...what does that have to do with anything?" Yami Bakura asked.

"I like pudding!" Marik cheered.

"So you do," Yami Bakura shook his head. "Anyways, we should probably get on with the plan."

"The plan?" Marik asked. "Oh yes! The plan! Yes, let's get on with that, shall we?" Marik and Yami Bakura got up and walked down the bleachers out of the gym.

Yugi and Mokuba walked down the hallways, eyes darting from wall to wall as they passed yet another intersection.

"Yugi, are we lost?" Mokuba asked.

"We're not lost, Mokuba," Yugi answered as he looked around for Joey, or really anyone he could recognize. " Okay, we're lost. How did this even happen? We were with Joey not even two minutes ago!"

Marik peeked his head from one of the corners Yugi and Mokuba just passed. "Excellent!" he pulled a walkie-talkie from his jean pocket. "It's time, gentlemen. Kick Yugi's ass!"

At the next intersection, Snips and Snails caught the gaze of Yugi and Mokuba. They were punching their palms while sporting teeth-baring grins.

"Uh, hey guys. Could you show us the way to an exit?" Yugi asked.

"Oh, you'll find the exit alright," Snips said.

"Yeah, when you wake up in the hospital," Snails added.

"You know, because we're going to beat you up?" Snips said.

"Don't explain the joke, buttmunch!" Snails elbowed his partner.

Yugi looked down at his Millennium Puzzle. "Pharaoh, I could really use your help right now!"

Stone Soldier, destroy the Moon... Yami slurred his words like he was drunk.

"Okay, never mind," Yugi put up his fists, as did Mokuba.

"You're not getting out of this one!" Snails charged at Yugi, fist extended, but Yugi simply ducked, punched him squarely in the gut, and then kicked him in the groin, knocking him on his back. Snips charged at Mokuba, fist extended, with the exact same strategy, but Mokuba swept him off his feet and kicked him hard in the ribs repeatedly.

"Ow, ow! We surrender!" Snips put his hands up.

"Uuuuugh...I thought this would be easy," Snails groaned.

"That was the worst fight scene I have ever had the dishonor of being a part of," Mokuba said.

"Come on Mokuba, let's find the others," Yugi and Mokuba kept walking, leaving Snips and Snails groaning in pain on the floor behind them.

After witnessing the curb-stomp battle from behind the scenes, Marik whipped out his cell phone from his other jean pocket, punched in a number, and held it up to his ear.

"Bakura..." Marik began. "We kind of...failed with the whole beating the crap out of Yugi thing. Now I've got two nearly unconscious henchmen I don't know what to do with."

Yami Bakura placed his index finger and thumb on the bridge of his nose. "Honestly, I expected this with you. Which is why the Dazzlings and I were busy kidnapping Sunset Shimmer ahead of schedule."

"Seriously?" Marik asked.

"Yes. Turns out she actually lives in the clock tower where we're staying. Who knew?" Yami Bakura said.

"That's mighty convenient for us," Marik said.

"By the way, don't you have a duel in like ten minutes?" Yami Bakura asked.

Marik's eyes widened. "Oh [EFF]! I completely forgot about that! I'm going to have to call you back, Bakura," Marik hung up his phone and sprinted back to the gymnasium.
